Yes, that would be preferable. Also note that I will even be posting situation reports for Lothar himself. He will be no more safe than anyone else and it will be good for other people to see what he is doing as well. Maybe I'll have my wife roll the die or something.
Actually... maybe we can just say there's no Chancellor for the entire period. Perhaps the Diet (or the Kaiser?) declares a state of emergency and every House, province, and Elector has to fend for themselves. Then I wouldn't even have to worry about the Chancellor thing. Resources and reinforcements will become available to you based on your own actions, rather than politicing.
Keep in mind that even when this is all done with, there will still be a massive rebuilding effort required. The game doesn't just go back to it's old state of HRE world dominance after 10 turns, so there will still be a massive struggle for resources as soon as the crisis is over. That is for the Diet to work on as a group, though.
